Driskel was selected as the best high school football player in the country this past season by the Maxwell Football Club. However other rating organizations did not give him such high credentials.

Driskel and Ohio State commit Braxton Miller (Huber Heights, Ohio) are the only two quarterbacks in Rivals.Com top fifty.
